Bowlers raise $920 for charity

Woy Woy bowlers have raised $920 for children's charity at their monthly charity event in April.

"We had 40 bowlers at our April event," said organiser Mr Ken Dixon.

"We raised another $920 for Central Coast Kids in Need bringing our year-to-date total to around $5600.

"The Woy Woy Leagues Social Club was there to support the event and we even had entertainment in the form of Tasha Lee.

"The Spider was won by Floss Irvine while Keith Brown beat Mick Stone by one in the Lucky Rink Draw.

"Raffle prizes were scattered around the room with the social club picking up plenty of prizes.

"Marilyn Mulder, Jan Beston and Leslie Stone were big winners," he said.

Central Coast Kids in Need raises money to assist families who have seriously ill children with prolonged illness.

Most of these children are cancer patients, others with organ transplants and premature babies with life threatening issues.

The money is used to defray the costs of accommodation for the families while the kids are receiving their treatment, as well as travel costs, equipment requirements and pharmacy accounts.

A total of $326,000 was distributed to 292 families across the Coast last financial year and $228,000 has been provided to 215 families so far this year.
